The process of thermal decomposition of organic materials (carbon based materials) at very high temperature and absence of oxygen is known as pyrolysis.

The temperature for such process is generally 430 °C or 800 °F. This causes simultaneous change in physical phase and chemical composition of the organic material. The process is irreversible in nature.

The resultant products mostly have more useful properties than the original one. Thus, to bring the greater value to the common organic material and waste, the idea of pyrolysis is important.

Which scenario describes an interaction between two of Earth's spheres?
quester [9]

The correct answer is D. Bears dig big holes in the ground to protect their young

Explanation:

The Earth spheres include the biosphere (life in the Earth), the hydrosphere (water bodies), the geosphere (rocks and other elements that compose land and soil), and the atmosphere (gases that compose the air). In this context, there is an interaction between two spheres: the biosphere and the geosphere, when a bear digs holes in the ground because a living organism that is part of the biosphere is modifying the structure and shape of superficial soil, which is part of the geosphere.
